Were you there? This is the story of LPG agents of Aizawl roughly 10 years ago.
Chanmari-ah gas a awm em? Zarkawt an upto date? Thakthing ah pawh an sem mek? “Hello, Mizofed”. Gas a awm em?. “Aw ni 3 thla 4 thleng kan sem”
A decade or more ago, there were only a few LPG(the gas used for cooking in India) agents in Aizawl. There were so few of them that instead of referring them by their agent name (except for Mizofed), we called them by their locality name because they were the only ones in their locality. They were
* Biakkungi (Chanmari)
* Suakchhunga (Zarkawt)
* Mizofed (Tuikual)
* Damnit! What’s that LPG agency in Thakthing called? It’s a female’s name.
Home delivery was just something you heard of from the Consumers Union, demanding the service from the agents. Everywhere there were long queues. Sometimes, you go back home with empty cylinder. I even bunked school one day to line up at Mizofed. It wasn’t my idea though. I was asked.
The system was like (IIRC)
1) You could go to the agency with your consumer card after 30 days of last filling and do something called “report/booking”. The date you do this is marked in your consumer card.
2) Later, when the LPG agent start delivery from the date you had booked, you could go to their center with your empty cylinder to refill if it was available.
3) Sometime if you have empty cylinder, you could refill the same date as you book. That was called “up to date”
oh! Those were the days! Too bad. Some of you such sphinx clan are too young(babies?) to remember this
